<dt><em>Description</em>:</dt>

<dt><em>Arguments</em>:</dt>
<dd><table>
<tr><td width="15%"><var>A</var></td><td width="70%">The type of the argument shall be <code>REAL</code>.</td></tr>
<tr><td width="15%"><var>KIND</var></td><td width="70%">(Optional) A scalar <code>INTEGER</code> constant
expression indicating the kind parameter of the result.</td></tr>
</table>

</dd>
<dt><em>Return value</em>:</dt>
<dd><p>The return value is of type <code>REAL</code> with the kind type parameter of the
argument if the optional <var>KIND</var> is absent; otherwise, the kind
type parameter will be given by <var>KIND</var>.  If the magnitude of 
<var>X</var> is less than one, <code>AINT(X)</code> returns zero.  If the
magnitude is equal to or greater than one then it returns the largest
whole number that does not exceed its magnitude.  The sign is the same
as the sign of <var>X</var>.
